Post Athletic Career
In September 2003, Renward moved back to The Bahamas and began working for The Government of The Bahamas in the Ministry of Works and Transport as a mechanical engineer.
Since returning home to The Bahamas, he has become politically active, discussing and debating many social issues and has become a member of the Executive Steering Committee of the National Development Party (NDP), a political party he was instrumental in helping to form in 2008. He became the deputy chairman of the executive steering committee in October 2009 and chairman on 5 April 2010.
The NDP was the first party in the Bahamas to allow every member of the party the right to vote for the leadership team and officers of the party. The NDP held a nationally televised debate between the nominees for the leadership on 17 November 2010. On 29 November 2010, Wells was elected the first leader of the National Development Party at the party's first convention. In 2011, however, he was one of several NDP members who defected to the Progressive Liberal Party, following a schism in the party as the new Democratic National Alliance began drawing away some of the NDP's support. Wells was elected to the Parliament of the Bahamas as a PLP member in the 2012 election.
Wells is still married to Sarah Cathleen Wells and the couple have five children; Sethren, Sasha, Sierra, Soren and Soraya. Sarah is a stay-at-home mom and the Wells' children are all homeschooled.

“To the old saying that man built the house but woman made of it a “home” might be added the modern supplement that woman accepted cooking as a chore but man has made of it a recreation.”
—Emily Post (1873–1960)
“The only athletic sport I ever mastered was backgammon.”
—Douglas Jerrold (1803–1857)
“It is a great many years since at the outset of my career I had to think seriously what life had to offer that was worth having. I came to the conclusion that the chief good for me was freedom to learn, think, and say what I pleased, when I pleased. I have acted on that conviction... and though strongly, and perhaps wisely, warned that I should probably come to grief, I am entirely satisfied with the results of the line of action I have adopted.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
